Panama City Fishing Reports (November 2024)

The redfish bite is really good right now. The rain has cooled the water temps down into the mid to low 80s. Seems like a falling tide with live bait is working best.

Snapper season is starting to wind down but there are still some fish out there if you are willing to move around a bit. Inshore the Jack crevalles are name of the game this time of year. They will pop up around the bay and you better be ready with a swim bait or topwater plug to get after them. The heat has the redfish and trout bite slowed tremendously but some good fish can still be caught early morning or late evening.

It's very hot outside and and the bay water temperature is threw the roof. Finding moving water has been the key to success. Fishing deep grass flats close to the jetties has produced some keeper trout in a mostly dead bay. The one thing that has kept my clients and I going through this heat is the bull reds. Anywhere there is deep water and good current bull reds have been crushing their favorite prey. They have been plentiful with opportunities to catch them on live bait, plastics, and even fly if an angler can show some patience. Long fights and screaming drags is a great way to end the Summer!

Red snapper fishing is still in full force. We have 23 days left of our federal season. We have been catching the Red Snapper on live Cigar Minnows, Pilchards, Boston Mackerel and whole white squid. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and one of the prettiest June and Julys we've had in a long time. The water is clean, clear and hot and the beaches are absolutely beautiful!

One of my favorites. Gentleman with autism catching one of his first fish! They didn't know how he'd react but I sensed he wanted to give it a go.
